Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was dusk, the sun had set, and it was past the dinner time of the Su family. Father Su wondered: Usually the family has eaten at this point, why hasn't there been any movement today?

Father Su asked Su Dai to go to the front and ask Sister-in-law Su: Why haven't you served dinner yet? Because it is usually Su's sister-in-law who directs the servants to arrange three meals a day.

After a while, Su Dai came back, and he said, "Sister-in-law said that Brother Su Xi and the two nephews have not returned from the shop yet, and when they come back, it will not be too late to arrange dinner." ”

When Father Su heard this, he was very angry and said: "They also came back very late, and they all left food for them, but today they are waiting for someone to come, what a bastard." Isn't this a good idea? ”

Su Qin didn't understand that this was Sister-in-law Su's intention to make things difficult, but in order to calm down the incident and make the old father less angry, he deliberately said for the better: "Probably sister-in-law thinks that my brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and wants everyone to have a meal together." ”

When Father Su heard this, he nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, you two haven't seen each other for five years, so let's eat together with me tonight, and you can still chat." ”

Su's father asked Su Dai to call the housekeeper Pang of Su's mansion and asked him to light the lamps and candles in the hall in the backyard, and now go to prepare a sumptuous meal and delicious wine, and when Su Xi goes home, let the people in the front yard come to the backyard to dine together.

About half an hour later, Steward Pang came to report that the wine and food had been prepared, and the eldest master Su Xi and the two little sons had also returned home, and all the people had been notified to invite the old lady to move to the hall for dinner.

Father Su got up with a smile, beckoned everyone to move together, and moved to the hall. Tonight is a rare reunion day for the Su family, and of course Su's father rejoices from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone came to the hall, sat down on the basis of seniority, and waited for Su Xi and Su Qin's two nephews to arrive. Not long after, Su Xi arrived, Su Qin saw that he was dressed in silk and satin, very bright, and he was obviously blessed, and his spirit was very good. Let's look at the two nephews who have grown into young people, and they are both talents. Su Qin was also happy for his brother in his heart.

Su Qin and Su Xi greeted each other, and the brothers each stepped forward, holding hands, and looked at each other a few times, their eyes were a little rosy. The two nephews also respectfully greeted their uncle, and Su Qin looked at them happily and praised them for being very promising.

Sister-in-law Su was late, Su's father asked Su Xi where his daughter-in-law was, Su Xi was a little angry, and said: "The family has a meal, and she has to dress up carefully, it's really troublesome." ”

Su Qin and his brother Su Xi talked about what they had experienced, and everyone still felt very cordial, after all, the two brothers were connected by flesh and blood, and they grew up together since childhood, and their feelings were naturally extraordinary.

After a while, Sister-in-law Su finally appeared. Su Qin saw that she was dressed in jewels, wearing a deep coat made of fine silk, with more than a dozen gemstone pendants hanging on the belt, a golden hairpin on her head, and a night pearl falling from her hairpin, which was dazzling. Su Qin knew in his heart: Sister-in-law Su was boasting about her wealth, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.

Sister-in-law Su dressed up carefully, wanting everyone to marvel at her wealth, but Su's father, Su Qin, Su Dai and others all turned a blind eye, and her husband Su Xi felt that she was troublesome. Sister-in-law Su didn't feel angry in her heart, she sat there without saying a word, drinking and eating food.

Su Qin told his brother about his experience over the years, Su Xi saw that his younger brother was concentrating on the art of vertical and horizontal, and he was tired of it, he didn't understand it at all, but he still felt that what Su Qin did was too risky, and it was better to go home and do the family business.

Su Xi understands the truth that everyone has their own aspirations, and there is nothing wrong with his younger brother Su Qin's choice, as long as the younger brother himself is satisfied and lives a nourishing life, it is too late to be happy as an elder brother, so why interfere. Therefore, Su Xi did not dissuade his younger brother to come back to business.

Sister-in-law Su couldn't stop nodding when she saw her husband, as if she was still a little envious of Su Qin's experience, and she didn't feel even more angry in her heart. She finally couldn't hold it anymore and interjected loudly:

"I heard Ji Zi praise himself like a flower, but why did I see you coming home so shabby, and I didn't even have any gifts to see my father, not to mention those of us who are not close to family affection."

Sister-in-law Su's words were scathing, and every sentence poked Su Qin's heart like a knife.

Su Qin didn't want to bring rich gifts to his father and children, as well as other cordial friends, but in the past few years of traveling, his mind was not on money at all, he never thought much about making more money, and he didn't fight for it when he had the opportunity, even if he earned some money, he gave it to others casually, so he ended up with a bare hand and went home.

From the moment Su Qin entered the house, he vaguely felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to go home empty-handed like this, and now that Sister-in-law Su put this matter on the table, how could it not make Su Qin extremely embarrassed, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

Su Xi saw that her daughter-in-law didn't give face to her younger brother, her words were obviously thorny, and she was very angry, and scolded her: "You are a sister-in-law, what is your intention to talk about these boring things, you give me a quick stop." ”

Sister-in-law Su was not afraid of her husband at all, but intensified, she continued to say loudly: "Our family in Luoyang, the child has been sent to learn business since childhood, although it can't be as empty as Ji Zi, but the surface is beautiful. ”

"However, we can also take a twelfth of the profits from the business we buy and sell, and we have all kinds of goods such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation. So in my opinion, the so-called vertical and horizontal art is just a bluffing thing! ”

When Su Qin heard this, a sharp knife was inserted into his heart, and it was in severe pain, but he also lacked evidence to refute Su's words. But isn't it, he himself does his best every day, but in the end he returns to the extreme, isn't this someone else's ready-made handle.

After hearing this, Su's father pointed at Sister-in-law Su, and his arms trembled with anger. Although he also resented his son Su Qin's unscrupulous work, he couldn't see his daughter-in-law so openly derogatory to Su Qin.

Su Dai saw that Su Qin's face was pale, and knew that he was so angry that he was burned inside. He couldn't help it, and said, "No matter how beautiful the sparrow thinks it is, it's just a shake off the nest; Flying high is the ambition in the blue sky. You can't wait to wear all the treasures of your house, but it's just to take a look at the scenery in this courtyard. Once some people step out of Luoyang City, they are not also villains who are called around. ”

Su Dai's words were also-for-tat, derogating Sister-in-law Su enough, and even Su Xi, who was sitting on the side, felt that he couldn't sit idly by and hung up.
